Senator Lindsey Graham's unexpected death imperils Todd Blanche confirmation process

Trump PANICS as He Faces Blanche Nomination NIGHTMARE after Senator Graham Death
What was said
"Nobody, nobody was more of an apologist than a vocal defender of all things Donald Trump than Lindsey Graham. Lindsey Graham, who defended Donald Trump on January 6th, defended him in testimony he gave to the January 6th committee, was Donald Trump's seatmate on Air Force One just 3 days ago to Ukraine and at NATO."
Senator Lindsey Graham died unexpectedly from an aortic dissection just days after returning from a NATO trip with Trump. His death creates a crisis for Todd Blanche's Attorney General confirmation, as Graham was his most vocal defender on the Senate Judiciary Committee where Republicans hold only a 13-12 advantage. With Senators Thom Tillis and John Cornyn already skeptical of Blanche, losing Graham's influence means Blanche cannot afford to lose a single vote.
